PER CURIAM:
Jo Benoit, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the
magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss her 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition and
denying her motion for reconsideration of the denial of her motions to compel. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, we deny her motion to compel in this court and affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. Benoit v. Rickard, No. 1:16-cv-00073 (S.D.W. Va.
Feb. 7, 2017). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
